Thing about a fraternal society is you need a place to meet.....

So you buy one.

That's what dues are for.

Might be kind of hard to market a political club that is non-political.

Market it as a social club or fraternity for libertarians, as opposed to a political action group.

...not unlike RPF currently, which allows individual members to organize political action but isn't endorsing anyone or organizing anything itself.

Yeah and that excludes most Libertarians , they are nearly two types , fairly wealthy or dirt poor .

 

[oyarde]

I do think it is a worthy idea .

A 30 year mortgage on a $300,000 property with good credit, plus taxes, is going to cost about $1800/month.

If the club has 50 members, that's $36 per month.

100 members, $18 per month.

...seems pretty reasonable to me.

Regarding exclusivity, maybe there should be a two tiered arrangement, with voting members and social members (as many clubs have).

Voting members control the club, so becoming one should be extremely difficult - single blackball rule let's say.

Social membership is much easier to obtain.

....maybe for friends and relatives of voting members who just want to hang out, don't care about politics, etc.

That way the club can grow but still maintain its ideological integrity and avoid infiltration by non-libertarians.

Actually, I like the idea. Any consideration given to what to name it?

No, but the bar/restaurant should be called the Chestnut Tree Cafe.

P.S. Oh, how about Libertarians Anonymous?

A 12 step recovery program for libertyholics?

Liberty League

Has a nice ring to it. "Honey, I'm going down to the Liberty League Club".

God, grant me the serenity to accept the politicians I cannot change,
Courage to change the politicians I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

That is a valid question because I am not joining if they will not serve me at the bar . I drank in the parking lot in High School, I have moved up since then.
